Wow. Instant classic. I hope my future grandkids study this film in high school. I think its Pixar's best film. The animated short that came with it was terrific, too.
Wall-E is a love story between two robots who can't talk, but their story was more believable and better acted than most live-action romances. The character arcs they both go through felt so real to me. Deep, believeable characters who experience a true change through story telling -- its my personal holy grail that I wish video games had more of, that movies and TV are able to do so much better.
And the visuals - my god. Stunning. The first half of the movie is poetry to me -- especially considering I've been working on a post apocalyptic game for the past four years.
Anyway, go see it. Well worth it. Too bad, Martie is terrified of him. The beginning of the movie is a bit scary and bleak. One child did start crying and had to be taken out when we watched it.
Wall-E for best picture of the year

I think that the beginning of the movie was a main part of the preview that we saw at the Hannah Montana movie (yes we saw that)that scared Martie. I'll still get it on DVD when it comes out because Mei might like it when she's older.
I'm very glad it's got a bit more to it than the obvious story. Pixar is usually great like that, they make films kids can enjoy on one level but parents can also enjoy as well... seeing things in it that the kids completely miss.
